Master Huijing’s Dharma Words about Faith in Pure Land
淨土信仰
There is a saying: “One thousand sentences in the Buddhist scriptures don’t match up to one single Buddha’s name”. It means that the functional power of the Tripitka and the Twelve Divisions is totally included in the six-character Name.
That is to say, the profundity of all Buddhist teachings is located in the Name, just like Master Honen says, “The profundity of the Buddhist teachings is Namo Amituofo only.”
Hence, the Pure Land teaching is known as the ultimate and foremost teaching of all.
所謂「千句經文不如一句佛號」，三藏十二部的功能，六字名號全收。可以說，這句名號是佛法之中的深奧處，就如法然上人所說：「佛法之深奧者，唯南無阿彌陀佛也」；也因為如此，淨土法門是佛法之中所謂「歸宗結頂」的法門。
Namo Amitabha!
